1879 Arctic Bend Currents Exploration Hayes Jeanette Moved Polar Proved


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of discovery and determination during the groundbreaking Arctic expedition led by American explorer George De Long in 1879. The scene is set on the Hayes River, at Big Bend, where De Long and his crew of the USS Jeanette made a pivotal observation that would forever change our understanding of the Arctic. De Long's mission was to explore the uncharted waters of the Arctic Ocean and test the theory that the Arctic Sea ice was moved by ocean currents. In this photograph, we see the explorers gathered around a campfire, their sled dogs huddled nearby, as they study the ice formations in the river. The evidence they gathered during their observations here would prove De Long's hypothesis correct, making a significant contribution to the scientific community's knowledge of the Arctic. The year was 1879, and the challenges faced by De Long and his team were immense. The harsh Arctic conditions, the ever-changing ice, and the isolation from the outside world tested their resolve. Yet, they persevered, pushing forward with their groundbreaking research. This image serves as a reminder of their courage, tenacity, and the spirit of exploration that drives us to venture into the unknown. As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are transported back in time, witnessing a moment of discovery that forever changed our understanding of the Arctic and its complex relationship with the ocean currents.
